Yesterday was the interview. It was a mixed feeling kinda thing.On bus 197, I was so worried that I'd be late cos the bus was so slow. But in the end, i was half hour early. Haha. It was a rather long wait, and I was hungry. After the interview, i was tired. I sort of flopped the whole thing, but whats new. Things started to go wrong wrong wrong when that interviewer asked me abt how S'pore shd respond to India and China's growth. I felt like telling her: 'How I know', but I didn't, of cos, i just crapped thru and scraped thru.


After that I took train to Bedok and went Lela's house. Pls, the journey was only half hour. To think i almost spent one hour plus by bus to that stupid ulu place at Jln Bkt Merah. Never mind. Baking cookies was fun. That was my 1st time, and i felt like a dummy. I didn't know that the dough would expand, and I didn't put enough chips. Stupid right? But never mind. That was my first time, next time I know. Haha. Took photos, my fave of cos.


Thanks Lela, for letting me bake such wonderful cookies.

03/05 Chalet

Lam, Jac and ZJ: For ur reading pleasure.


Today...went to Zj's class chalet. It was fun thou the weather was not very nice and we didn't really do much. Met zj supposedly at 1215, who knows both of us were late. For once, she was even later than me. Haha. Proud of myself. Went to White Sands NTUC to buy the BBQ stuff. What did we buy? Hmm...party needs, zj's LETTUCE, baby potatoes, tomatoes, snacks...thats all, i think. Took the free shuttle bus at 1345 and kena scolding from the bus driver for missing the stop. Toopid bus driver, how dare he scold us-passengers! We've got all the time on earth, can't we just sit in the bus forever? Haha.


Super heavy rain when we alighted. Gladys, Fatima & Ah Tai went in 1st, me and Zj waited for the brollies. Hanzhi went to fetch us aft tt. Thou we had brollies, its only slightly better than without them, cos we were quite drenched too. Haha. But 1 lesson learnt: Don't ever wear slippery slippers to chalets when u know its gonna rain. Luckily nobody slipped today.


In the chalet what did we do? Took photos (my fave!), watched tv (as if my house don't have like tt), pillow fight with zj, attempted to play blackjack (the keyword is ATTEMPTED) and lastly BBQ. It was rather fun looking at how pple start the fire and place the charcoals and fan the ashes and smoke til the wire mesh broke. And not forgetting having fun holding the umbrella for Wen Jun & unfortunately, Jerome (supposedly the charcoals) Haha. 4L came in the evening, with her never-closed-umbrella which she held on to even when it has stopped raining. I left at late 7 plus, after 1 crabstick, 1 baby potato, 1/2 hot dog (courtesy of 03/05), 1 mid-wing and some Bee Hoon (courtesy of 4L), under the escort of 4 guardian angels with empty stomachs (zj, fatima, gladys and Ah Tai). How honoured! Liked the way 4L talked. Not cos her words were INSPIRING, but cos she was so COMICAL. Haha.

From the smiles, its easy to tell that I've enjoyed myself.


Heres some touching words. Thanks lam, jac and zj for ur invitations and I wouldn't had so much fun w/o ur presences. Thanks lam, jac for the birthday present, love the colours! Thanks zj for escorting me and the return card enclosed with the super big sweet. Please convey my thanks to ur class 03/05 for all the fun I've had, esp my other 3 guardian angels. Oh, should I also thank ur CG's CT's maid for the food too? Haha. Thanks.

I still think Wai Yong really looked like Li Nan Xing, and tt Linyuan and Hanzhi really are compatible, but not Jun Long and Wan Qing and that Jerome really is... and Wen Jun is really GREAT, and Keow Koon is really pretty and the class pple are simply...wonderful. :)

With Seige

The day...had McBreakfast @ TMall with Seige this morn, so fun. I was a bit late cos I was busy watching Doraemon. Haha. Got stood up by Prisc...toopid Prisc! Haha. Went to look at Xmas trees (so nice), toys 'R' us, Yamaha...then to Seige's house, cos I had no key to go home and I had to be at somewhere else in the aftn supposedly. Spent some time there. Stole 32 Archie digests from her, sang almost all choir songs together (& realised tt she's got such wonderful memory-not only did she rmb the tunes, she rmb the lyrics too-crazy!), gossiped about many people-including the PHANTOM, took and looked at photos, listened to songs & podcasts, played Internet...this is what I call spending quality time. Haha. To think we've almost lost contact for 2 years,and we're still so close. I feel so 'xing fu'. To Seige, thanks for everything. U're really a great friend. I'll not forget the interests for the digests. :)

End of A-levels

Today is the day...the end of A levels. Nothing to say abt the S Papers except that they were DIfficult! Never mind, at most get ungraded only lor. Not impt de.Haha. How I celebrated? Went to LJS @ TMall...saw the escalators with the CAUTION Sticker...aiyoh. We had a very long lunch...chatted a lot. So happy.


Met Seige at the place we are meeting tmr. So qiao. Haha. Can't wait to have breakfast with her tmr. Are u reading this, Seige? I'm very very eager to really meet up with u!


Then I went down to NMS. A bit bored. No liaison officer also nvm lah. Haha. Made 2 new friends-Maryann (ACJc) and Geok Han (HCI). Got a free Teh Tarik as well. Seems like I'll have a busy countdown this year.


Anyway, no more notes!I'mnot going to read or touch anything got to do with Maths/Chem/Phy/Bio/GP. Nobody is allowed to ask me anything got to do with those stuff. Haha. Its time to relaxliao and start packing and preparing for my long vacation.


Zj, u want to work ah...can lah,but no NTUC, no Shop N Save, no McDonalds. I don't want to wash toilets. Haha. I can source for good jobs for u if u dont mind. But no hurry lah, lets wait till Dec aft my trip lah hor, can? Haha.

Bio

Another paper down... 3 more papers to go. Somehow I feel very disappointed with my performance in this A levels. I think I would do very badly for all the subjects. Getting an A seems almost impossible for any subject. Sigh. I still think doing ok for prelims is a no-no.


I don't think the problem lies with the papers, I think the problem lies in ME. To think I cant even spell gibberellin. Horrible. To speak the truth, I haven't really been performing up to standards. Perhaps I had the same feelings during Prelims, which I can't rmb, but i do hope I'm just being too paranoid and pessimistic and that things aren't as bad as I think. The only chance to save my bio paper is the MCQ, which i doubt can save me much.


I'm feeling quite funny now. On one hand, I hope people will console me, telling me that things aren't that bad, on the other hand, I rather people around me just not say anything and just let me face up to reality. I also don't know. But i do know that hearing how others keep getting the right ans does not sound consoling at all. I'm not implying that others are not supposed to get the right ans, but it only shows how lousy I've been.


1 more Bio MCQ, 2 more S Papers, 4 more nights, 5 more days...

hello!

Have been posting a lot lately. All because of some stupid messages that made me angry.


But anyway, 1 more week to end of my exams. Can't wait to have lunch with Zj on the last day, can't wait to go out with Seige, can't wait to contact NHB and start work as a liason officer, can't wait to make preparations for my EOY NZ trip...and the list goes on. I'm not going to bother abt some outings that some poeple, who knew that I can't go, organised, cos I can't go. Thats simple.


Of course I quite envy those who didn't take Bio, cos their papers ended just yest, and think abt it, they're already enjoying their hols right now, when I still have 4 more papers to go. But I really don't mind lah, afterall I chose the subjects and papers I want to take. Its good for me. 6 days really aren't a lot. Can survive de. And this, is self-encouragement. And speaking of that, I haven't started studying for Mon's Bio option yet. Maybe later lah, slack first more impt. Haha.

Long time no see

I realised I have't been blogging since abt 1 week ago. Thou nobody may be reading, but I might as well post something.


I don't wish to sound depressed, but I really think I'm a goner. Whats the point of doing well during prelims and not doing wellin the actual A levels? And thats the precise predicament I'm in right now. I'm so very disappointed with the many stupid mistakes in my maths paper. I think I'm placed at a very risky spot. I really will knock my head against anything I can find if my carelessness had caused my grade to drop from A to B. Physics was horrible also. Had I not made so many mistakes in the MCQs which cost 2m each, I think i wouldn't have died so horribly. But over liao, too bad.


I just received a phone call from a crazy fella. The first thing he said to me was "What are you doing now?" I was totally shocked and filled with qn marks. I asked him who he was, he told me to guess. I asked him if he had made a wrong call, he said no and told me not to be like that. Like what?!! Am I supposed to entertain someone whom I don't know? To hell with him, man. Scare people like that past midnight. Luckily I'm still awake, if not I would have been...don't know, maybe shocked to death? Haha, anyway, I scolded him and hung up on him. Too bad, just his luck to make a prank call like that and got answered by me. Crazy fella!

Short break

Finally can rest for 2 afternoons liao.The 2 day "marathon" was horrible. So many things to study, so little time to study.Think I will shatter some day, if I'm not given theis 2 afternoon' rests. Ok, now I dont even know what I'm typing.


Miss Wong gave us all cookies this morning. She baked them herself. Wow! Each pack consists of 3 pieces of cookies...supposed to form a "100" so that we can score 100 for our chem paper. Haha, you think its possible? I already minus off don't-know-how many marks liao. Heh...


For yesterday's bio, it was so-so. Not all that I studied came out, but all that I didn't study did appear. Stupid paper. But somehow I think its much better than Prelims. Is it? Actually i also don't know. Give me a few more days to think about it and I might say otherwise.


Yesterday's maths was ok. I ALMOST freaked out when I saw the 1st G.P. qns. Then the 3D trigo qns was such a discrete and difficult one. People like ZJ, KS all got 20.6 degrees for the angle. Me? I got 40.6 degrees. I wrong lah, obviously. Don't ask me where the extra 20 degrees come from, I don't know. I never get 3D trigo qns right de. NEVER! Ok lah, overall minus 12 marks liao. Still got 88 marks. Haha, what a nice number. Yah, as if I won't have other mistakes like that. Haha.

No more GP...

No more GP..., yah at least for the time being. So difficult leh...I usually don't do mass media qns, but there's almost no time for me this time round. I was quite frank in my survey form. I really didn't know much about Newspapers and Magazines, but thats as much as I know about charity, entrepreneurship, politics, myths and legends. But I didn't even knowif its "The Straits Times" or "The Straits Time"...I chose the former. Was I right? Served me right for not reading the papers. Haha. And I almost couldn't finish cos I crazily rewrote my essay twice. Crazy. And of course I stiked out the technology qns, only to feel a little betrayed after the paper and hearing some comments...Thats for Paper 1. Paper 2...horrible! I felt like sleeping even before I've finished reading my 2-page long passage. What freedom of speech, right of life...I felt so deprived!- of don't know what...time and knowledge maybe haha...


Anyway, its over liao, no point thinking about it anymore le hor...but its so unlike of me to think this way, so I guess this GP exam can still keep my mind occupied for at least a few days more. Hope that Mrs Ho doesn't come after me because of the lousy survey form reply...I was just being frank!


Oh by the way, I think our Miss Indian invigilator was great. Haha. And such a coincidence that the blur Mr Ang Moh that me, ZJ, Lam and Jac saw this morning was one of our invigilators too.

Start of the A-levels

Tmr...the day...of A-levels GP Papers. Stressed ah! Haha, GP is neither my favourite subject nor my best subject...I don't know what to do with it either. Get it over and done with asap better. Haha. Good luck to me!


Oh, and I'm so touched that my good friend, Seige actually dropped by (don't know if I'm still her good friend or not, haha). I was really just thinking about her yest and this afternoon and, poof, her name appeared on my tagboard. Hey friend, shall we go out after mine and your exams?
